The plot of the movie is not the point or reason this movie was made. No, this movie is an indictment on The United States of America for being an evil dominant force in the world. From start to finish, this movie goes about showing that the U.S.A. is just a bunch of powerful evil men who commit any and every atrocity it wants in the name of it's own needs and desires.
In an early scene Walhberg and another marine are purposely abandoned by Army headquarters. The military in real life would never do such a careless, cold hearted thing for no apparent reason. But then this movie has its Liberal anti-America/anti-military message to push.
Then we learn that the U.S. government is behind all of the wrongdoings. Then the FBI is discovered to be corrupt and full of stupid people. Although the political affiliation of the President in this movie is never named, the movie slips in many negative lines of dialogue about the current administration. References are made about Abu Graib prison and weapons of mass destruction and that the war is only about oil.

To criticize a country like this, in almost any other country, but the U.S. would cause you to be tried for treason. Do the film makers appreciate that? Photo copyright: Paramount Pictures (2007)
